Dettman, who’s charged with burglarizing multiple homes with a juvenile accomplice around Columbian Park this spring, was waived into adult court in May to face 10 felony charges.

Citing the boy’s criminal history, Tippecanoe Superior Court 3 Judge Faith Graham ordered that Dettman be tried and incarcerated as an adult, even though he won’t turn 18 until September.

Just two weeks later, officers were called to Dettman’s cell, where they saw blood on the floor and the boy’s jaw beginning to swell, court documents state.

Dettman told the officers repeatedly that he’d been injured by falling from his bunk accidentally. When asked directly whether he’d been assaulted, however, the boy nodded in the affirmative, according to a probable cause affidavit.

Officers investigated the incident and reviewed surveillance video. Based on their findings, the prosecutor filed a Class C felony battery charge against Jevon Ollins, 24, who’s also being held at the jail on burglary charges.
